Directed by the ludicrously-monikered Rob Zombie this is the sequel to his 2007 remake of John Carpenter's original masterpiece.
And it was undoubtedly a masterpiece,firmly ensconced in my Top Twenty films of all time,a chilling tour-de-force of suspense with little gore compared to modern films flawlessly directed by Carpenter and impeccably acted by Donald Pleasance and Jamie Lee Curtis.
This new version is by comparison a complete mess and with due deference to my lady readers I will not clarify some of the more gruesome parts.Gore for gore's sake.No suspense,no narrative to speak of,poor acting,and unfortunately an open ending for yet another
sequel.
No.Just go away and stop defiling the memory of a director infinitely more talented than you.One mark for the use of the original theme tune.Utter tripe.1/10
